Note: This story contains spoilers from the series finale of “Succession.”
The series finale of “Succession” brought the story of the Roy family and the fate of their company to an end, placing a new and not entirely surprising heir at the helm of Waystar Royco.
The episode, titled “With Open Eyes,” dropped a satisfying — if not all that unpredictable — twist on viewers after Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) once again betrayed his wife, Siobhan Roy (Sarah Snook), and partnered with Swedish corporate shark Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård) to become U.S. CEO of the company. A tense board meeting led to Matsson’s internet conglomerate GoJo’s acquisition of Logan Roy’s (Brian Cox) company right from under the Roy siblings’ grasp.
